McLachlin (-18) won his first PGA Tour victory at the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open by seven shots over Brian Davis and John Rollins (-11). McLachlin is an automatic addition to the field of the PGA Championship starting on Thursday.

McLachlin's rookie season was looking pretty grim until he reached the Reno-Tahoe Open. Up until that point in the season he was staring another run at Q-School right in the face. That weekend in Reno changed not only his fortune for 2009, but for 2010 also. McLachlin is one of a few players that will go from battling for a tour card, to being able to relax a little because of his two-year winner's exemption. It's tough to say which players will play better in those circumstances and which ones won't.
